Monarch Pendants

ATTENTION: Right now Firefox does not allow you to scroll and checkout. All other browsers seem to work fine. Hopefully I can resolve this soon, if possible.

Hi all. I'm right here on the other side of your computer ready to make you a gorgeous piece. Please let me know if you have a deadline I can meet. Thank you!

For sale are solid glass chrysalis replicas with 24K gold dots, made as real to life as I can muster. The glass part measures between 15/16" and 1" tall. The price includes a 20" gold-fill chain and giftbox. If desired, I would be happy to e-mail you a pic of the actual piece before I ship. I can assure you my customers are typically thrilled, and they look even better in person!

Note: When I receive an order for both the jade and the almost-born chrysalis, I send the jade on a 20" and the almost-born on a 24" chain. Then the recipient has the option of wearing both pieces at once. Neat.

Chrysalis Earrings

Earrings by popular demand for those who never wear necklaces or those who want a pair to match their chrysalis pendant.

Now, I went back and forth for some time on the size for these. Sure, hypothetically one could just take a few of my life-size chrysalis and hang them from their ears. Some have, sometimes one of each version! But the chrysalis are solid glass and have some weight to them.

If you're like me and like an earring you can't feel, then you want this pair. Now, smaller isn't necessarily easier to make. In fact, most days I feel these tiny little devils are tougher, but I suffer so you don't have to. You'll see from the images below the earrings are a miniature version of the Monarch chrysalis you know and love. They are made of solid artisan glass and 24k gold and hang from a 14k high-quality gold-filled French wire. The glass itself measures 3/4"x 5/16". All earrings come with back rubber safeties and a gift box. Posts are available upon request, but I don't keep many in stock, so I may need more lead time. $150.00.

But Jude, I don't wear gold.

I hear you. And came up with a solution. I found this beautiful silver leaf bail, put a nice, dark patina on it, then added a leather cord to create an elegant, contemporary look. The leaf bail is soldered shut around the chrysalis and is quite permanent, so please make your choice between the leather or the gold-filled chain wisely. One cannot just swap one necklace out for another if they change their mind. Please note there's a small price increase to somewhat account for the extra labor.
